July 7, 1910. 



Baskets For Summer Flowers 



We have a splendid assortment of just the kind of baskete that you want to make your flowers 

 attractive. Dainty French creations for orchids and sweet peas, baskets with rugged outlines for 

 displaying bolder flowers, and tall, long-handled baskets for Beauties and lilies. Don't forget that 

 with our baskets you will make many a sale that might easily be lost. 



A SUMMER WRINKLE 



We have just received a fresh stock of Artificial French Flowers, perfect imitations of 

 roses, carnations, orchids, etc. They really look better than nature on a hot day. Don't you want 

 a few boxes of these flowers for display ? They would attract attention and they will last. 



Our factory is at your disposal for anything special that your smart set may want.

 brother-in-law and sister of the groom.

The Market. 



Extreme heat has been our lot of late, 

 and the market has lapsed into midsum- 

 mer dullness, with scarce a ripple to 

 vary its monotony. Koses are in light 

 demand. Some good Kaiserin and Car- 

 not are arriving, while the Killarneys 

 are holding up well, but Richmond is 

 down and out. It is too single for a 

 summer rose. Beauties are also getting 

 poor. There are quantities of poor 

 short-stemmed flowers coming in which 

 are practically unsalable. The heat is 

 having a marked effect on carnations, 

 and the quality is rapidly deteriorating. 

 Quite a number of growers are pulling 

 out their stock and some have stopped 

 sending in any flowers. Prices are al- 

 most unquotable. No reasonable offer, 

 however, is refused. 



Sweet peas are in abundant supply 

 from outdoors. The Spencer varieties 

 seem to sell the best, but lack somewhat 

 in keeping qualities. Pink, white and 

 lavender are the best selling shades. 

 Gladioli are abundant and sale on them 

 drags. They are already in bloom out- 

 doors. There are some speciosum and 

 auratum, in addition to longiflorum 

 lilies and plenty of outdoor candidums, 

 which, however, are not of good quality 

 and sell poorly. 



There is now plenty of gypsophila, 

 candytuft, stocks, cornflowers, salpiglos- 

 sis and other summer material, with no

great demand for any of them. The 

 sale for asparagus and adiantum has 

 fallen off considerably. Lily of the val- 

 ley is now a slow moving article. There 

 are still gardenias, which sometimes 

 bring $2 per dozen for the best, but 

 many are not wanted. There is a fair 

 supply of cattleya flowers procurable, 

 which bring good prices. 



Various Notes. 



Charles E. Holbrow has his two new 

 King construction houses planted with 

 tomatoes, 6,000 in number, which he 

 thinks he will follow with sweet peas. 

 Mr. Holbrow is one of our up-to-date 

 florists, and had an excellent season. 



John Farquhar returned July 1 from 

 a two weeks' journey, extending as far 

 as Kentucky.

 tomatoes, the pick of which is now as-
